What will happen if you don't open the door to the population census?

In Russia, on October 15, the population census began. Investigators will bypass all residents and fill out census forms; you can also answer the questions of the questionnaire yourself & ndash; in special areas & nbsp; or in the My Documents centers. For the first time, you can take part in the online census on the public services portal.

Is it possible not to open the door to the census taker?

The census & dash; this is a completely voluntary procedure. Therefore, citizens have the right to refuse to leave enumerators in their homes or to participate in the census in any way. There is no liability for such refusal.

“The constitutional right of every person”; Don't let strangers come into your house, '' Rosstat Department Head Irina Zbarskaya told Vesti FM radio.

How can enumerators react to a refusal to let them into their dwellings?

Enumerators do not have the right to demand citizens to let them into the premises.

at the door, ordering it to open. We need to speak to residents quietly and discreetly, if the door is not open then our employee needs to turn around and leave ',' & ndash; Zbarskaya explained. & nbsp;

If the enumerator cannot find the inhabitants of the house, he can leave a leaflet in the mailbox with information about the census with the addresses of the nearest polling stations, as well as the possibility to fill in any autonomy questionnaires on the portal of state services, reported the press service of the Ministry of Interior of the Russian Federation.

Why is it important to participate in the census?

The population census is carried out in order to find out exactly how many people live in each region and district of the country, who lives there and under what conditions. Most of the information obtained during the census does not appear in the databases of the civil status offices, the Ministry of the Interior and other departments. The information received will help to adjust government programs and contribute to the development and planning of enterprises, according to the official website of the Census of Population of All Russia.

Therefore, if any part of the population refuses to take part in the survey, the general idea of ​​the people of the country will be distorted. Policies aimed at improving the standard of living of citizens may not yield the desired result.

Field National projects

C & nbsp; started & nbsp; this academic year thanks to the national project “ Education & # 39; & # 39; 'Quantorium' children's technoparks began to open on the basis of schools. Previously, technoparks were only open in further education institutions, but now children will be able to study promising engineering fields without leaving the school desk.

This way & ndash; the only true one for the organization of education. & nbsp; This is the conclusion of an analytical report written by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion in collaboration with the ANO “ National Priorities. & # 39; & # 39; when it is implemented together. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

Great opportunities for scientific and technical creativity are believed to be open exclusively to gifted children living in mega-cities, but this is not the case. The success of every child is important, regardless of where they live and the social status of their family, which is why further training centers are opening up all over the country, where students can study for free. in promising and sought-after areas. are created on the basis of schools. Absolutely any student can study there for free without entrance tests. & nbsp; In total, by the end of 2024, more than 1,300,000 new further education places for children will be created. & nbsp;

There are already 135 Quantorium children's technology parks open across the country. And by 2024 their number will reach 359, of which 224 depending on the schools. & Nbsp;

Quantoriums – playgrounds where children aged 10-18 can master promising engineering directions & mdash; these are laser and neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, unmanned aircraft, programming and 3D modeling. And also implement your own projects using virtual and augmented reality, assemble and program quadcopters, robots, prototypes on 3D printers, etc.

The first 'Quantorium' school in Karelia open to Petrozavodsk. The technopark appeared in the municipal school №2 of the Kukkovka microdistrict. It is equipped with the most modern equipment on which children can test their theoretical knowledge in physics, chemistry, biology, computer science in practice. These are 3D printers, builders to assemble solar powered car models, spare parts for classes & nbsp; robotics and much more. & Nbsp; “Every school should be warm, comfortable, and it should be full of opportunities for the development and learning of children”; Karelian Education and Sports Minister Roman Golubev said at the opening. & mdash; And I am sincerely happy that today we are opening Quantorium; in the coming years, the same technoparks will appear in other educational institutions in the republic. This became possible thanks to the National Education Project, and is a logical continuation of our so-called large quantorium Sampo. & Nbsp;

In the region of & nbsp; Kemerovo & nbsp;, the first technopark for schoolchildren “ Quantorium '' opened at Gymnasium No. 6 in the city of Mezhdurechensk. & nbsp; More than 21 million rubles were allocated from the federal and regional budgets for its creation. Around 2,000 schoolchildren from Mezhdurechensk will be able to study in the new technopark. & Nbsp; Quantorium; became the first technopark of a new school format. With its help, schoolchildren will study physics, chemistry, biology and technology at an advanced level, and develop additional skills in natural sciences and technology. 3D printers, laptops, microscopes, etc. In the modern educational space, children will be engaged in the activities of the project, get acquainted with the professions of the future, prepare for competitions and the Olympics. The Kuzbass quantorium network already includes five technoparks: two other landlines have been opened in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk, two mobiles are operating in the remote areas north and south of Kuzbass. In addition, five more children's technoparks are planned to be opened by 2024.

In Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, on the basis of school No. 31, the Quantorium children's technopark began to operate. This is already the fourth site of the regional center. & Nbsp; The Technopark is equipped with high-tech equipment, in modern classrooms schoolchildren will be able to practically understand the basics of natural science subjects, expand their knowledge in the field of physics, chemistry, biology. The institution created all the conditions for research, engineering and technical creativity activities. In addition, from elementary grades, children will be engaged in further education. In particular, recruitment for robotics is actively underway. & Nbsp;

“ It should be noted that the new 'Quantorium' opened in Novo-Aleksandrovsk. This will make the modern areas of supplementary education more accessible for residents of remote areas, and children not only in our school but also students in other schools will be able to study in educational programs. additional education, & ndash; note & nbsp; Headmistress of school n ° 31 Tatiana Berezhnaya . & nbsp;

The & nbsp; Technopark & ​​nbsp; presents a profile in natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), a technological profile & nbsp; “ Bio '', including & nbsp; a laboratory for teaching and researching biosignals, as well as a nanolab with modern high-tech equipment that allows materials to be synthesized, modified and studied at the micro and nano levels. & nbsp;

For & nbsp; students of the Aleksandrovsky district of the Orenburg region “ industrial design '', “ 3D modeling '', “ virtual and augmented reality '' 39; already fairly familiar concepts, which they became familiar with in additional general development courses at “ Growth Point. & # 39; & # 39; And soon the guys will start studying in the Quantorium mobile technopark, on October 11, the mobile Quantorium left for the Aleksandrovsky district. & nbsp;

“ During this school year he will travel four times in a school week. Additionally, we are planning to organize a number of hands-on excursions for district school students and teachers. This will help unleash the potential of technically gifted children and develop career counseling in schools ',' & ndash; noted the specialist of the regional education department Alla Matviychuk . & nbsp;

Teachers from Aleksandrovsk have already familiarized themselves with the work of the quantorium and its capabilities, becoming participants in the workshop organized for teachers of the territories, where the mobile quantorium will go this year. & Nbsp;

“ It is a very useful experience, as the directions presented by our students are in high demand. We are already familiar with this field of activity, but we try to study as deeply as possible the possibilities of innovative technologies and to transfer this knowledge to schoolchildren ', & ndash; shared a workshop participant who was responsible for growth points at Alexander School by the name of & nbsp; V.D. Roschepkina Maxim Drankin. & Nbsp;

In total, the work of the mobile quantorium in the Alexandrovsky district is expected to cover 170 students. & Nbsp;

For reference: & nbsp;

An analytical report on education in Russia, jointly prepared by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion and National Priorities of the ANO, brought together more than 30 experts in the field education. According to the report, school and further education is built in Russia as a unique system aimed at shaping a child's harmonious personality and acquiring a wide range of skills.

Key functions of school education: & nbsp;

& bull; provides students with the basic knowledge and skills necessary for life in the modern world;

& bull; forms the key skill “ the ability to learn. & # 39; & # 39; & nbsp;

Further education today fulfills four key functions: & nbsp;

& bull; helps to deepen a student's knowledge and skills at the undergraduate level of vocational education;

& bull; promotes the development of non-technical skills in a student, forming a harmonious and versatile personality;

& bull; helps to realize the child's interest in a particular area and reveal their abilities;

& bull; allows you to test new educational models that can be applied further & nbsp; as part of school education.

Role of national projects in complementary education (out of school):

Today, complementary education, implemented in national projects ` 'Education', 'Demographics'' (Federal project “ Sport & # 39; & # 39; the standard of living & # 39; & # 39;), “ Ecology & # 39; & # 39 ;, “ Culture & # 39; & # 39 ;, “ Tourism & # 39; & # 39; help the child develop a very diverse range of professional, social and intellectual skills and competences.

Extreme energy. How scientists' developments will affect the development of the Arctic

Field National projects

At the end of September, thanks to the national project “ Sciences et Universités & # 39; & # 39; world-class “ Nord '' science and education center (REC) sustainable development territory & # 39; & # 39; received grants for the opening of 6 youth laboratories. Some of them are already operational, others will be opening soon. REC projects are aimed at developing the infrastructure of the territories of northern Russia. This is very important for areas beyond the Arctic Circle. And the strengthening of the northern economy will affect the economy of the country as a whole.

Let's talk about how the developments of Russian scientists will allow Russia to strengthen its strategic presence in the Arctic.

The North is a land of sustainable development

October theme in the Year of Science and Technology & mdash; “The energy of the future”. For the development of the Arctic territories, Russian scientists are developing technologies capable of providing energy to settlements and objects built under the extreme conditions of permafrost.

This year REC “ Nord & # 39; & # 39; sustainable development territory & # 39; & # 39; presented a large-scale technology platform project for the development and testing of full-cycle hydrogen technologies. It will allow remote infrastructure to operate autonomously, regardless of weather conditions and fuel supplies. The use of hydrogen in the Arctic is relevant and is due to the prevalence of a suitable resource for the extraction of finished fuel & mdash; water. The procurement process can be organized autonomously at a polar station or in a remote locality.

Through the National Science and Universities Project in REC & laquo; North & mdash; sustainable development territory & # 39; & # 39; 6 laboratories are open, the goal of which is & mdash; promotion of the development of young scientists and employment of promising researchers. Thus, on the basis of the NEFU named after M.K. Ammosov, the laboratory “ Computational Technologies for the Modeling of Multiphysical and Multiscale Processes in the Permafrost Zone '' was launched, which solves the problems of several applied areas. In addition, a laboratory for radiation technologies and polymer composites for the North will operate at NEFU. Using computational methods, scientists will be able to assess the impact of global warming on the rate of thawing of soils in the polar territories. This will provide arctic infrastructure builders with soil condition data, and environmentalists will receive information to analyze technogenic and natural causes of climate change in specific areas. & Nbsp;

Two laboratories for young people are being launched on the basis of the Yakutsk Science Center of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. And an electrochemical sources laboratory for renewable energy has opened at Sakhalin State University. It will focus on the creation of new energy storage devices for Sakhalin and the Kurils based on solar panels and wind turbines, the study of the accumulation and consumption of energy. ;hydrogen. The laboratory is established in partnership with the Institute of Chemical Physics Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The production and use of hydrogen is one of the strategic priorities for the scientific and technological development of the Sakhalin region, which can ensure a leading position among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of hydrogen energy.

Science and Technology Center of Autonomous Energy & nbsp;

The Science and Technology Center for Autonomous Energy which is part of the Institute of Arctic Technologies of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (STC AT MIPT) was established in 2017. It was established in 2017. ; is today one of the main centers where arctic energy projects are developing. It includes four laboratories and an engineering center. & Nbsp;

In the harsh conditions of the Arctic, the wind speed often reaches 15-20 m/s, and in some areas it reaches 50 m/s. Harsh weather conditions require special approaches for the creation of wind turbines. Their design and development is carried out in the Renewable Energy Sources Laboratory.The capacity of the Arctic Wind Power Plant (ArkVEU) designed here is & mdash; about 100 kilowatts, and it can work continuously in a completely isolated environment. The design features allow the generator not to be covered with ice, withstand temperatures up to & below; 50 ° C and at a wind speed of 60 m/s. Thanks to such facilities, the northern regions will be able to significantly reduce the share of energy supply costs: in some regions they now reach 37% of the gross product. & Nbsp;

The Fuel Cell Laboratory is developing efficient technologies to convert chemical energy from fuel into electrical energy. The efficiency of traditional hydrocarbons in adverse northern conditions is very low. We need to get a handle on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Electric generators based on them have an efficiency of up to 60%, and when combined with gas turbines, it can be increased up to 70%.

Snowflake polar station

Together with Russian and international partners, MIPT launched a project to build a complex of autonomous international arctic stations Snezhinka. They will operate exclusively from renewable energy sources and hydrogen, and station activities will focus on extensive research in the Arctic, testing promising technologies under adverse climatic conditions and cooperation international in the field of polar research. During the Year of Science and Technology, the construction of such a station began in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and a complex project in the Murmansk region is In preparation. & Nbsp;

Snowflake International Arctic Station; will become one of the largest scientific infrastructures in the arctic zone. Thanks to its technological equipment, scientists around the world will be able to lead developments relevant to the development of the Arctic & mdash; survival systems for growing vegetables under extreme conditions. The project will enable smart region specialization and develop scientific potential in Yamal

The use of traditional energies in the Far North is difficult, therefore, to provide electricity at the “ Snowflake '' polar stations a complex has been created which combines wind turbines, solar panels and hydrogen power plants. Promising energy storage system projects have been developed.

A total of 15 world-class science and education centers are currently operating in the country. All were created as part of the national Science and University project.
